During dinner, Yang Xiaobei said, "Mom and Dad, I have to go to work tomorrow. From now on, Shushu and the kids will have to work hard on you. If there is any physical work, you can keep it and do it when I get back from get off work."
Xu Hehua was a little embarrassed. She had originally thought that the old couple would be very busy, taking care of their daughter during her postpartum confinement and looking after their grandson and granddaughter. Unexpectedly, after more than 20 days, they had been very idle and not tired at all. This was because Yang Xiaobei did most of the work, and Jiang Shushu would help out when she was awake. Yang Xiaobei was even more skilled at changing and washing diapers than Jiang He and his wife, so Jiang He and his wife would lend a hand, occasionally watching the children and cooking. Their daily life was very leisurely. Before Jiang He and his wife started taking care of the children, they would never have imagined that caring for two children would be such an easy task.
"It's my responsibility. It's not hard at all. You've been the one who's been working so hard these past twenty days, Xiaobei. Your dad and I haven't been able to help much either."
"Mom, I should take care of my wife and children. I am usually busy with work and sometimes I have to work overtime, so I may not be able to take care of the children. It is a rare holiday for me now, and I should do what I can for them. This is what I should do as a husband and a father. And it's not that hard. Shushu and mom and dad, you all help. Although you think you don't do much, you can each share a little. In fact, I don't do much either." There is no way during work hours, but when I get home, as the pillar of the family, I should shoulder my responsibilities and do my part to create a better life for my family.
Jiang Shushu also smiled and said, "Home belongs to everyone. As long as everyone living in this home is a part of it, and as long as everyone is willing to contribute, then the home will be a beautiful one. I also see how hard Xiaobei and his parents work. Thank you, it's great to have you."
Jiang Shushu and his wife were grateful for their efforts, which touched them deeply. They felt warm and happy, and their faces were filled with smiles. "Haha... We're family, it's all right. You're welcome." "Since Shushu and Xiaobei remember our kindness, everything we do is worth it."
Jiang Shushu felt really relieved to see this family who cared about each other and did not scheme against each other.
People are born with emotional needs. No matter for what purpose, reason, or relationship, when someone is good to you, deep down he hopes that you will be good to him too, and desires that his emotions be reciprocated as they should be.
If you turn a blind eye to someone's kindness to you, or even treat him worse than a stranger, that person will naturally take away his kindness from you if his emotional needs are not met.
So when someone treats you well, you should cherish them and be polite to them. Otherwise, you will miss the chance and regret it later. People don't like to go back to their ex because it is very annoying.
That evening, Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei were packing wedding candy in their room. Each box was beautifully wrapped and filled with candies, cookies, peanuts, and dried fruits, waiting for Yang Xiaobei to give to his colleagues tomorrow.
Jiang Shushu and the others didn't want to pack it either, but they had no choice. Small snacks like candies and biscuits are what most grown men want to take home to entertain their children. If they don't divide them up in advance, they will feel embarrassed to put them back in their pockets and take them home.
In the evening, when Jiang Xiaoan came back to work, he picked a large basket of ripe lychees from Jiang Shushu's house.
Jiang He and his wife came in carrying a large basket of lychees: "Shushu, Xiaobei, it's time to eat lychees."
Jiang Shushu and the other person came out to see, and were stunned to see a basket full of lychees.
Jiang Shushu said, "Dad, who did you ask to help you pick lychees? Are lychees ripe early this year? Haha... I was thinking of going back in a few days to get some lychees to try. I haven't eaten them for almost a year, and I miss them so much."
Jiang He said with a smile: "When I went to buy vegetables this morning, I ran into Xiaoan. He was shopping with his girlfriend. Later, I knew that he was going back to the village to visit your cousin and his family, so I asked Xiaoan to help me see if the lychees in the mountains were ripe.
Isn't Xiaobei going back to work tomorrow? I thought if the lychees are ripe, Xiaobei could bring some to his colleagues to try. It's not easy to give expensive things, but it's nice to give them some that we grow at home. If they are ripe, I will ask Xiaoan to help pick the ripe ones. It's a coincidence that half of them are ripe, so there are so many. Xiaobei, bring more lychees back tomorrow and let your colleagues taste the lychees grown at home. These lychees are very sweet. "The son-in-law is going back on a long vacation? It's not easy to bring expensive gifts, so at least he should bring some local specialties.
"Thanks, Dad. I'll bring some for my colleagues to try tomorrow. I'm sure they'll like it."
Jiang Shushu: "Dad, where's Xiaoan? Why didn't you invite him in to sit down?"
"Xiaoan is busy. He had to rush to deliver lychees to his girlfriend. Her girlfriend was about to get off work. Xiaoan put down the lychees and left in a hurry. He asked me to bring him to say hello to you."
"So you were on a date. I understand. Now that you can officially take over your job, it seems like marriage is not far away." In conservative times like today, if you pick up and leave your job openly, as long as there are no unexpected events, it's basically a done deal.
Jiang He: "Based on my experience, I saw their interaction this morning. Xiao An acted like a fool and the girl was shy. I think they are not far away from each other. I think it will work out 100%." The two of them are full of love, and the girl's parents are nice people. They will definitely work out.
…
When Yang Xiaobei returned to work, he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues. When they saw the wedding candies and half a snakeskin bag of lychees that Yang Xiaobei was carrying, they became even more enthusiastic. They all stared at the things in Yang Xiaobei's hands and almost asked if they were for them.
Yang Xiaobei didn't keep the secret, "My wife and I prepared some food for you to celebrate us becoming parents and let everyone share in the joy. I have a baby, I'm so happy, I just thought that happiness is better shared than happiness alone."
"Thank you Xiaobei, thank you Xiaobei's wife."
Zhao Laifu picked up the lychee and said, "Xiaobei, you must have had a hard time carrying it. Let me do it, I'll do it."
Huang Hui took the wedding candy and said, "Lai Fu is right. Let me take it. I'll take it. I'll help you divide it. Come, come, come, one box for each person." Huang Hui saw that the candy had been divided into boxes in advance, so he knew how to divide it.
Huang Hui first set aside a few copies for the senior leaders, and then quickly gave one copy to everyone.
Zhao Lai Fu did the same. He first took out a large basin to leave for a few leaders, then took out several large basins, poured all the lychees into them, and then several people gathered together to eat the lychees.
…
After Yang Xiaobei gave wedding candy and lychees to his leaders, he gathered with everyone, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very good.
After Yang Xiaobei goes to work, as long as he has free time at noon, he will go home to see the two little babies and Jiang Shushu.
